Clean Green Smoothie Recipe

The power of clean, green plants such as spinach, mint and avocado can’t be underestimated – eating these and other green ingredients is a powerful and easy way to help us cleanse and detox without the need for faddy diets.

Amla (Indian Gooseberry)

Amla is loved for its nourishing and rejuvenating effect on the entire system. Here, our Master Herbsmith explains the ways in which we can all benefit from this rich source of numerous minerals and vitamins.

The Digestible Guide Volume. II

A healthy digestive system helps to ensure the nourishment from our food is absorbed in the right way. Ayurveda, India's ancient health system, can help us to understand our individual 'digestive fire'.

The second volume of The Digestible Guide will help you identify your type of 'digestive fire', and explore some herbs to nourish your digestion.
